The run-off election has concluded and we have unfortunately

Hi Kyle,<br>
Thanks for this update, brother :-)<br>
This may challenge us to read AFIX's <br>
Bylaws [1] again ;-)<br>

In this case we had 13 votes, so we thought a tie would be impossible,
but one of the submitted ballots was blank, so we ended up with 12
votes and the candidates tied six votes each. See attached results
from the Zeus system.

Interesting! i see the following from <br>
the AoA (Article of Association):<br>
<br>
<quote><br>
6. General Meetings<br>
[...]<br>
d. Voting Procedure<br>
i. Every Member in good standing *shall be eligible to cast one
vote* at a General<br>
Meeting.<br>
ii. Where a General Meeting is held, unless a poll is demanded,
voting at the<br>
meeting shall be by whichever of the following methods as determined
by the<br>
Chair of the meeting: voting by voice; voting by show of hands;
voting by paper<br>
ballot; voting by electronic system.<br>
iii. A declaration by the Chair of the meeting that a resolution
is carried by the<br>
requisite majority shall be conclusive evidence of that fact unless
a poll is<br>
demanded.<br>
iv. At a General Meeting, a poll may be demanded by any Member,
Director, or<br>
Chair of the meeting for any resolution.<br>
v. In the case of an equality of votes, the Chair of the meeting
shall be entitled to<br>
cast a tie-breaking vote.<br>
</quote><br>
<br>
...i draw anyone attention to:<br>
d. i. which may allow us to authorize an <br>
eligible voter (i offer to do it for CAMIX <br>
if agreed) who have not yet cast its <br>
vote to vote one side;<br>
d. v. seems to validate my *forced* <br>
understanding of d. i. <br>

The board is deliberating on the way forward and will provide an
update soon. The Articles of Association does not clearly cater for
this situation so we may propose an amendment to clarify the procedure
to follow in such cases going forward.

<br>
Please ask the two candidates to discuss <br>
the matter, reach an agreement and <br>
communicate their common decision <br>
with us; by three days ;-)<br>
<br>
...though! i agree on the need of an <br>
amendment, as in reading the following, <br>
i see that the AoA (Article of Association) <br>
seems to be more open for interpretation <br>
when it comes to usual processes <br>
and more explicit for special ones :-/ <br>
<br>
See 4. d. i., 4. d. iii. and 4. d. iv. are <br>
related to *retiring* but not *rotating* <br>
(mandate ended) director:<br>
<br>
<quote><br>
4. Board of Directors<br>
[...]<br>
d. Election of Directors to the Board<br>
i. The Board shall organise an election following the closing of
each Annual<br>
General Meeting *for those places vacated by retiring Directors*.
The election shall<br>
be conducted in accordance with *the Electoral Reform Society’s
ERS97 system*.<br>
ii. No person shall be qualified to be elected unless he or she
is nominated by a<br>
Member qualified to vote and has given notice that he or she is
willing to be<br>
appointed. Such nominations and notices shall be valid only if given
to the<br>
company not fewer than twenty eight, nor more than forty nine, clear
days before<br>
the day appointed for the election.<br>
iii. Voting *shall take place during* the fourteen days
following the Annual General<br>
Meeting, or such *other period that the Board may from time to time
agree* (“the<br>
Voting Period”).<br>
iv. The Board may, at each Annual General Meeting, hold
elections to replace<br>
Directors who have ceased to be Directors *for any reason other than
retirement<br>
by rotation*. For the avoidance of doubt, any such appointment made
shall be for<br>
the balance of the term of office outstanding in respect of the
Director whose<br>
position is being replaced. The places shall be allocated in order
of decreasing<br>
term of office.<br>
